HIGHWHEY

thx for the response. i was told i can only turn in the application on october(they have 3 specific dates, all in october), this would be for the class starting in november. can you tell me if this is true? otherwise i'm waisting time when i could go and turn in an application sooner. also, do you know what critieria they use to determine if you're a "top 40" applicant? appreciate it!

Anyone know if they already have a full class for November? Stinks that even LPN classes are being stuffed...I would expect a wait from Gateway's LPN program but not Maricopa...moreso because it's 14 months long. What about Southwest? I've been trying to call the Nursing advisor at southwest but she never picks up and her voicemail is always full Are there any other transferrable LPN programs other than Southwest and Maricopa? Thx.

dang. well i'm inquiring about the lpn program from southwest and maricopa skill center. anyone have any info as to if there is still room left for those programs? i know those will transfer for sure. i want an adn from mccd since i'm planning on completing a bsn from a state university.

If I go through an LPN program from a private school can i still transfer into a comunity college advance rn program?

I am wondering the same thing...

i am scheduled to go for an information session at pima in august. my buddy that goes there said it costs 40k, but there are no waitlists. i honestly do not mind paying 40k(school loans+fasfa+job) since i'll be ahead by 2 years but it does bug me that credits will more than likely not transfer (from what ive been told). maybe i can complete a bsn at gcu or uofp but i really wanted to complete my bsn at asu or another state university. since i'm hoping that down the road i may apply for crna school or pa. in a perfect world. even with a bsn from asu, it's no guarantee i'll get accepted in midwestern crna or any other crna programs

I too am wondering the same thing. If anyone has a degree from Chamberlain or any other private school, I would greatly appreciate your input.

wonder what this will will do for waitlist if they start a hybrid program (gateway)

I'll check out that PIMA Medical institute. One of my buddies attends that school for the Respiratory Therapist program, his program was about 30k, although lucky for him he got some grants. I'm guessing it's not associated with MCC. I'll be making a lot of calls and I'll have to go take that entrance exam. Once I take the entrance exam, let's say at Phoenix College, can I take the results to any other college part of the MCC nursing program? Like Gateway or Mesa. Thx!

Yeah most of it made sense, thanks for the help. Do you know of any RN programs in or around the Phoenix area, other than ones being offered by Maricopa Community Colleges? Personally, do you think the LPN to RN route is a good idea? I know I should be patient and wait but I just graduated high school and do not want to wait 1 or 2 years simply because I know it will be more difficult to enter college 2 years removed from school. Also, I plan to work on a BSN and get a masters later on, so acquiring my ADN is not my last stop. I do plan to go full time, even through summer. I really, really enjoy studying and the quicker I can get my ADN the better since I'm in it for the long run. In addition, it would ease the financial stress I impose upon my wonderful(10% sarcasm) parents. I am planning on attending ASU, they have the online RN-BSN bridge program which is very enticing since it seems flexible and I'll make sure to get on their wait list(if any exists) once I am on my way to getting an ADN. I know I should have applied for the RN program while I was still in high school but my original plan involved attending ASU for pre-med and becoming a PA. Thank you and I truly appreciate your help.

Hello, I'm from Phoenix AZ and am wanting to enter RN program. Realistically speaking, I know I will be placed in a waiting list so my question is, while I am in the waiting list, can i begin to take classes that will transfer into the RN program? I anticipate at least a 1 year wait so if I take classes right now that are part of the program(obviously i will knockout my pre-requisites first) can I transfer into a 2nd year RN program? I know Maricopa Community Colleges accept LPN's, paramedics for the RN bridge program. From what I've read, if you're an LPN, you can transfer into block 3/4 of the RN program which I'm guessing is 2nd year or 3rd semester.
